In this paper, we describe a visible-light positioning system that uses the ambient-light sensor assembly in a smartphone as a receiver for illumination signals from LED-based room lighting. After correcting for missing or inconsistently sampled data captured by the receiver, we can identify the source LEDs contributing to the received signal via Fourier analysis of its frequency distribution. Localization of the smartphone is then achieved by trilateration of the distances to the various LEDs, which are calculated from the received signal strength for each LED. Experiments using multiple LEDs were conducted to evaluate the signal reception and positioning performance of the system. We found that multiple LEDs modulated at frequencies of over 70 Hz could be correctly identified from the received signal pattern. The 90th-percentile 2D positioning errors using low frequency signals (3.951-7.902 Hz) were less than 0.21 meter for a room illuminated by four LEDs arranged in a 1-m square on the ceiling at 2.22 meters height, where the smartphone was placed parallel on the floor from 1.4 meters height. Those using high frequency signals (111.619-114.582 Hz) in the same room setting showed 50th-percentile 2D position errors of less than 0.44 meter. The position calculation was offline and not implemented on real time. Potential applications and limitations of the proposed method are discussed.
